My DH complaining about how sore his body is after skiing all weekend. I have little to no sympathy. 3rd-tri got ugly over this weekend and I am just cranky/miserable all the time now.

Some idiots were stopped on the side of the road on our way into town this morning. The roads were shit, so we figured maybe they were stuck, but then it was clear they weren't. We stopped anyway to check on them and turns out it was just a belt that came off (so due to poor vehicle maintenance, not the copious amounts of snow). They told us they had a tow truck on the way, but needed a ride home. Back the way we came from. On the awful roads. When we were already running behind and had Haden in the car.
We apologized for their troubles but said we couldn't take them home as we had to get to town. The lady got mad at DH and asked why we even stopped then.

Oh, OK. Our bad.
Wow, the level of entitlement here is insane.
Are you going to freeze? Are you hurt? Do you need my cell phone to make a quick call? ... The things a normal person might expect from someone kind enough to stop and check on them.

I am so sick of snow! With today's storm we now have 3 freaking feet on the ground. No one shovels correctly and walking is dangerous and I'm too scared to drive with massive snow piles preventing visibility or movement. FU Punxsutawney Phil. And STFU friends on Facebook in the south who "really want snow". You can have it!
Granted, this is more of a FWP so I'm just whining at this point. From what I've been told (and based on my own opinion), I'm doing a great job at my company and they are so happy to have me here. I've been here a little over 2 years and have expressed interest in other departments and my willingness to help others if the need arises. Basically, I'm interesting in moving up in the future. So far, nothing. Okie dokie.
But today I got an email from Glassdoor saying there are new reviews on my company and I read through them. One of them states how excited they are that X department will be increasing salaries by 50% in April, in addition to the bonuses and incentives they already receive.
My department is the only department that receives just salary. I'm really just annoyed about this. Granted, I don't want to sound like I'm entitled to a raise or incentives but it's a little disheartening to hear that everyone else is getting it except for you and a few others. We were swamped with work a few weeks ago and my department broke our own personal record- we didn't hear a peep about it from management. Not even a 'thank you' or 'good job', nothing.
I guess I'd just like some form of acknowledgement.
My SS's BM is a massage therapist and H called her and asked if she would come over and rub my head and shoulders as to try to relieve these headaches. She happily agreed. Our relationship has always been strained, but she is an excellent MT so I figured it was worth a shot. She came with her H and DD. and proceeded to invite themselves to stay for the whole super bowl. We were not planning on company so we were not really prepared. The H's got drunk. They kids were crazy and BM just let them be crazy. I spent the night sober disciplining her kids. I assumed they would leave at the end of the super bowl. No. They continued to hang out until I said "ok I'm going to bed now" then they still hung out for another 15 min. Ugh! So while the massage helped, I went to bed with a headache :/
@pearsforpoop WTAF! I don't even have words for that...
bnizzlebizzle I'm with you on the snow.. We've got probably 3-4ft total on the ground and it's still really coming down. I'm so ready for spring.
Afm, thank the lord for this thread because..
My back is killing me, I feel like someone kicked me in the vag, making pancakes takes an entire days worth of energy, etc etc. I definitely don't remember being This worn out with DS although that was 10 years ago so who knows.
Oh! Also, we went to SO's friends for the super bowl last night and 1. The couple throwing the party got into a huge fight in front of Everyone and it was painfully awkward. 2. One of SO's douche canoe friends said, and I quote "look how fat you are".... In front of everyone there (about 15 ppl) and everyone just stared at me.. It was awful
DD has already graced me with a nasty poopy diaper today but a not-so-pleasant scent is wafting over to me from her pants right now and I know it's something nasty. The smell of her poop has been making me so nauseous recently, it's really hard changing her when it gets bad. Hopefully H will be home soon and I can ask him to change her....
And talk of Froyo in the random post makes me want to go get some, despite the fact that I've already had ice cream today, but all the snow we got made the roads tough to travel on. Bummer!
I'm so exhausted today and I feel like crap. I want someone to wait on me hand and foot but H is at work until midnight so I will likely have a stupid Lean Cuisine for dinner.

I'm kind of over my husband making it seem like he has it so much harder then me just because he works and I SAH. Yes, he takes things over with DS when he gets home, but that's because DS loves spending time with him. He really looks forward to seeing daddy in the evenings. It seems like H just wants to come home and park his ass on the couch while I take care of everything else all the time. He doesn't understand how uncomfortable I am, and how even standing for too long brings on BH and horrible back pain. He can just be so insensitive about it. But god forbid I be insensitive to his feelings at all. Then the world is just over and done. Humph.

Oh it did! H is so proud of himself for being able to help me and get me the massage, which I totally appreciated! BUT had I been able to relax after the massage, that would have been better.
Also, the kids. One of them is my SS so I have no problem disciplining him at any point, even in front of her, but that fact that she just didn't care annoyed the shit out if me. BM still reminds SS that she is his mom, not me. Well then you know what-do your job!!

lisap0924 My BIL has a daughter with a woman who refuses to do anything with her disciplinary wise. She allows her to have this massive attitude all the time (for the record, she is 3. Anything she learns now will follow her for the rest of her life.) BIL recently got married, and the woman he married is wonderful. She tries her hardest, but BM has decided to try and implant it in this poor girls head that SM is not really her mom so she doesn't need to listen to anything that she tells her to do. It's an awful situation.

Wow that sucks they would send that to all departments... WTF!!! I would be pissed if I worked there and not in that department
This is more of a Monday whine than anything. I was finally able to print out my syllabus for my English Comp course and read through it in more detail. My research paper needs to be 7-10 pages long, when I originally thought it only had to be 3-5 pages. I will be finishing week 5 of 8 when I have the baby, so I'll have 3 weeks to muddle through as a sleep deprived, new mother. I want to drop the course (I only take 2 at a time and my classes are all online), but I won't because I'm not sure how it would affect my financial aid.
Excuse me while I go drown my sorrows in a snicker's bar.
My boss made me drive into work today braving the roads even when I was extra today. I spent the shift sitting on my ass because no patients showed up. And then he sent me home 2 hours early. What a waste
I had a horrible day. I don't even want to go into it because I don't want to upset myself, but basically had my first pregnancy related meltdown. Totally overwhelmed, physically feeling like shit and left alone this past weekend taking care of our very clingy and demanding 1.5 year old while my husband was out of town for work (HOW DO SINGLE PARENTS DO IT I DONT KNOW) all came to a head and I had to leave work because I was having like a mental breakdown. I really try not to complain because I know this too shall pass and all that shit, and I feel extremely fortunate and happy to be able to have these babies and the life that I live but sometimes it's just hard. Thanks for listening ladies!

huggabugga11 it certainly is very hard being a step parent. I always say it's the hardest job I have ever had. I could write a book about my tales as a step parent and the challenges I have faced with BM and SS.
I'm super uncomfortable. I made dinner plus 1 freezer meal. Sat down on the couch and then H sat on my feet. I snapped. Screamed out I hated all of them (H and the dogs) he's now massaging my legs. I may snap more often.

Ive been super snappy lately. My H and SS just annoy the shit out of me at times. I suppose having a headache for a week doesn't help either

Wow I wouldn't be driving strangers home, I can't believe that they expected that
I was having contractions most of last night and this morning. I texted my husband to tell him about it. His words it's just Braxton hicks, don't worry! What how the fuck do you know what is going on with my body. I then said this is not BH BH are a tightening these are contractions. He said its to early just relax. I felt like I was going to snap. RELAX?? RELAX??? BOOM!!!
I'll start this by saying I am SO EXCITED to be a mom, and REALLY excited to meet the baby. However, last night DH and I were talking, and he was asking if I was getting nervous about labor, postpartum, etc, and I had a mini meltdown. ( playlawook I feel ya on the meltdowns) I started freaking out about "what if I am a bad mom," "what if I don't like being a mom," "what if we never go on a date again," "what if I want my old life back" and was crying while sitting on the toilet. Then I told him i was freaking out inside about taking the first postpartum poop, and getting an epidural. I blame it on the negative amount of sleep that I got the night before + pregnancy hormones. Once it was over, I was like where the HELL did that come from?!
